Wen Yi asked, "Brother Chu, do you know about formations?"
Chu Li nodded. "I know a thing or two."
Wen Yi smiled. "I didn't expect that. Can you break this formation?"
"I'll try." Chu Li frowned. "I'm just afraid that there are other Heavenly Demons or even Great Heavenly Demons hiding in this formation!"
"If that's the case, this might be a stronghold for Heavenly Demons," Wen Yi said.
Chu Li turned to look at Xue Luoyu.
He had already noticed that Xue Luoyu was not in a good state. It was obvious that using the red ball treasure had a price, and the price was not small. Otherwise, Xue Luoyu would not have waited until the last moment to use it.
Xue Luoyu shook her head, indicating that he did not need to worry.
She saw the worry in Chu Li's eyes and felt a warmth in her heart. She sighed to herself.
Wen Yi and the others only had eyes for Heavenly Demons and did not think about her at all. They did not even notice that she was injured. Chu Li was much more sensitive than them, and he was smart enough not to make a sound.
She was more satisfied with Chu Li, but also more afraid of him.
As a superior, one had to use both kindness and authority. One had to win over the other's heart and keep them in awe. Otherwise, the other's ambition would inevitably grow, and the junior would subdue the senior. This was human nature, and no one could avoid it.
Therefore, a powerful person like Chu Li must be put in an important position, but it was also necessary to teach him a lesson from time to time, lest he became arrogant and could no longer be used.
Chu Li circled around the stone wall, and finally, he suddenly took a few steps diagonally, and disappeared in a flash with a strange footwork.
Everyone was stunned.
"Bang!" Two figures shot out. Chu Li and the middle-aged man from before appeared in front of everyone.
There was a flash of light, and the middle-aged man was hit. It was Xue Luoyu who attacked before everyone else.
"Bang!" The middle-aged man was stunned after taking the hit.
Chu Li followed up with another hit.
The middle-aged man stood motionless and took the hit. Xue Luoyu flashed in front of him, and there was a flash of cold light in her sleeve.
"Ugh …" The middle-aged man clutched his chest, and his eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
Chu Li flashed to Xue Luoyu's side, and pressed his left palm on her back.
Xue Luoyu only felt a strange aura penetrate into her body, and the feeling of emptiness suddenly eased. The burning pain in her internal organs was also suddenly relieved, as if the rain had fallen and moistened her internal organs that were almost burning.
The jewel she used contained a strange power. She used this power to defend against the enemy, but she also hurt herself. It was a situation where both sides were injured. She could use the medicinal pills and the mental cultivation technique to defend herself, but she couldn't avoid the pain.
Chu Li's inner energy was really strange, it just so happened to be able to restrain the backlash from the orb.
Xue Luoyu turned to look at Chu Li. She nodded and stared at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's chest was pierced by the sword, and he was already dead.
This was different from Chu Li. As long as his Heavenly Demonic Orb was not destroyed, he would not die. However, this middle-aged man did not have such an abnormality. He could only die when his heart was pierced. He had lost all signs of life.
Wen Yi said, "Ninth Princess, let us do it."
"Search him," Xue Luoyu ordered.
Wen Yi and the other five clasped their fists.
They quickly searched the middle-aged man and found every item he had on him. They even found the short needle hidden in his hair and placed it in front of Xue Luoyu.
Xue Luoyu stared at these items and gently touched them. Her delicate hand suddenly trembled as she slowly picked up a ring.
At first glance, this ring seemed to be made of white jade, but it did not have any luster. It did not seem to be real white jade, but a stone of inferior quality that looked like white jade. Moreover, it had a simple and unadorned design. There was only a bare ring.
She stared at this ring and reached out her left hand. There was an identical ring on her snow-white left pinky.
When she saw this, she no longer had any doubts. This was the guy who killed Second Brother.
"Ninth Princess, is it him?" Wen Yi asked.
Xue Luoyu nodded. "It's him! Let's go. "
Everyone nodded.
They were worried that the Great Heavenly Demon would come again. Based on the Ninth Princess's ability, she might not be able to kill the Great Heavenly Demon again.
In a flash, everyone returned to the Ninth Princess's residence.
Xue Luoyu's face was covered with a white veil, so no one could see her expression. However, her bright eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she was not calm.
Wen Yi and the others tactfully left, but Chu Li could not leave. He could only stand in the corner of the hall motionlessly. He withdrew his aura and blended in with his surroundings as if he had disappeared.
Xue Luoyu stood in the hall in a daze.
After an hour, she came back to her senses and turned her head. "Come with me to see Second Brother."
Chu Li nodded.
Xue Luoyu left the residence and the Rain Master's Hall. She went to a huge peak and saw a grave halfway up the mountain.
Two old trees were planted in front of the grave. They were tall and straight, reaching into the sky.
Xue Luoyu stood in front of the grave and took off her veil to reveal her beautiful face. She murmured in a low voice.
Chu Li stood in the distance and sighed to himself.
It seemed that Xue Luoyu and her Second Brother were very close. Second Brother had raised her since she was a child, so she was like a brother and a father. However, as the Hall Leader, her father was either cultivating or dealing with the affairs of the Hall. She could only see him a few times a year.
Xue Luoyu only came back to her senses when it was dusk. She glanced at Chu Li who was not far away and turned to leave.
The two of them returned to the backyard of the residence. Xue Luoyu sat in the gazebo on the lake and sighed. "Chu Li, thank you."
Chu Li shook his head.
Xue Luoyu asked, "What do you want as a reward? What else do you want other than a rank one merit?"
Chu Li asked, "Are there any spirit pills that can increase one's cultivation level?"
"You want to increase your cultivation level?" Xue Luoyu frowned. "With your current cultivation level, these spirit pills won't be very effective."
Chu Li replied, "I want to use it on Madam."
"Xiao Qi?" Xue Luoyu pondered for a while and slowly nodded. "Alright."
If she wanted to use Chu Li, she must have investigated him in secret. She sighed. "But I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for her to become an Enlightened Master with this."
She guessed that Chu Li wanted to use the spirit pills to increase Xiao Qi's cultivation level. Once Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple ascended to Heaven, Xiao Qi would most likely take over the position of an Enlightened Master. After ascending, she would have a very high starting point.
The death of a Grandmaster and the ascension of an Enlightened Master had a very different status in the Outland. It also determined the quality of one's aptitude. After a Grandmaster reached the Outland, it would be difficult for him to step into the ranks of Supreme Masters unless he reached the end of his life.
Chu Li said, "I'll think of a way."
"Alright." Xue Luoyu nodded. "I'll give you a bottle of Chaotic Repair Pills."
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, my Lady."
Xue Luoyu waved her hand. "I'll give you a month's vacation. I'll cultivate in isolation for a while."
Chu Li nodded.
He could not suppress his excitement. With the Chaotic Repair Pill, Xiao Qi's chances of becoming an Enlightened Master would greatly increase.
He had the Sky Pill, which was a spirit medicine that could increase one's cultivation level, but Xiao Qi had already consumed enough of it, so the medicine's effects were almost gone. However, the Heaven Mending Pill was different. The spirit pills from the Outland were indeed superior to those from the lower realm.
With this bottle of Chaotic Repair Pills, Xiao Qi's cultivation level would greatly increase after consuming it.
Xue Luoyu stood up and left. After a while, she returned with a jade bottle and handed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it and opened it. There were a total of nine green pills. He smiled and kept it in his pocket.
"You must be eager. Go," Xue Luoyu said.
